Applicants
are screened to determine their individual needs and ability to benefit from
a service dog, as well as their ability to provide a suitable home and on-going
care for a service dog. Once accepted, the applicant’s name is placed
on the Applicant Waiting List.
Due to the extensive
training time for each service dog (24-36 months there is often a substantial wait for just the
right dog to meet each applicant’s needs. Our projection is currently
a wait of 2-4 years.
Many service dog programs charge recipients for their dogs
from $2,000 to $12,000 or more. Carolina Canines For Service, Inc. places dogs at
NO COST to the recipient!
Once a match is made, the applicant is notified and team training is arranged. Upon
completion of team training, the individual becomes a partner with a certified
service dog. |
